Description
Aral is a fragrance created in honour of sensational spectacle “Au dela des Murs” by Catherine Lara, 2009. Its release was quite unusual – the fragrance was brought to the scene of Palais de Sport in Paris. Its composition was put together by a team of perfumers from TechnicoFlor, Provence.
Catherine Lara is a French duchess, composer and singer. She was born in 1949 in France and has published 25 albums so far! One of them is Arala, presented in 2000. The fragrance Aral Un des Sens was named after it.
Aral Un des Sens is a sensual, oriental fragrance which opens with citrusy luminous accords of bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, petit grain, along with cardamom, sea algae and cloves. A heart is very hot and passionate and it features amber, ylang-ylang, patchouli, cedar, incense and fir, while a base incorporates benzoin, styrax, peach, vanilla, tonka, musk and copanu resin. The flacon is available as 100 ml EDT.

A peculiar woody marine naturalistic scent with a high niche profile. I happen to find this à bit challenging as it clearly portrays an untamed landscape, rough and masculine, it is by no means a “beachy” and fun smell (i.e suntan lotion type or smell). Actually it hits you as wildly as cold sea waves breaking against reefs under the sun. There is à very distinct cold/ warm effect, probably meant to remind you of the smell of your skin slowly warming up on the beach after a long swimming session in the Atlantic.

I don’t see any resemblance with Angel, to me Aral seems to be very different from all I know. Fresh, aquatic start quickly changes into woody and soft amber with a hint of delicate vanilla, but at the same time sillage remains fresh (well, at least as people say).

This is a personal and different kind of scent. Warm, oriental but from a distant. It smells like the scent is lingering around me in a foggy jungle.
Really feminine, interesting and could be used in many occations. stays close to skin and the soft notes whispers in minor.
It´s also sensual, alluring and somewhat hard to describe. A soft, foggy, milky oriental with some hints of gourmand.
Some similarities to Angel, but in the softest possible way, much more grown up and also more sofisticated.
If you happen to stumble upon this don´t miss the chanse to try it, it´s really something quite different and also very nice.
